Photo Friday: A Night on The Town

2 month old E dines out

This picture was taken at a very fancy restaurant in New York's Columbus Circle shopping center (The restaurant is now gone). We played our usual trick of putting baby E to sleep in his car carrier before we arrived, and then parking him under the table where no other diners (or staff!) would notice.

This was the rare occasion where he didn't cooperate - waking up midway through the Entree. Luckily he was fascinated by the overhead lights and the reflections on the glassware and barely peeped during the rest of the meal. We were a bit embarrassed, but but surprised that both the other diners and the staff fawned over us instead of shooting us nasty looks - I'm so glad that we headed out for that meal instead of sulking in our hotel room with a sleeping newborn.

    Our son was three months old the first time he slept in his car carrier under the table on our first meal out after he was born. I am pleased to hear it wasn't just me!

    I'm glad you headed out too, and that people were kind to you. Nice shot, nice memory. Thanks for sharing it with us.

    OMG I'm one of those frowners and I'm ashamed making parents like you feel bad. You have every right to go out and eat a meal that doesn't come wrapped in paper or served with plastic cutlery.
    Your story has made me review my habits.

    I remember those meals when we could take our daughter to restaurants and she'd sleep the entire time.

    Now that she's two, it's a little different!

    Great photo!

    Snap!
    My older son spent a LOT of time asleep in his carrier under tables during his first few months.
